Usability testing, no panel needed
Configure an AI persona that reflects your target user. Point it at a Figma prototype or live URL. Get structured usability findings in under 10 minutes, with no scheduling, no incentives, and no recruiting overhead.
Recruiting blocks research cadence
Teams spend more time writing screening questionnaires and coordinating calendars than running the test itself. For B2B SaaS founders, the difficulty compounds: the target user rarely appears in standard panels, and no-shows add overhead on top of screening.

Tessary
From idea to findings in minutes
Tessary replaces the participant recruiting step with AI personas. You configure the persona, run the test, and read results at the pace of your design iteration.
Configure your persona
Set the role, domain expertise, brand familiarity, and patience level. The persona reflects your actual target user, not a generic panel respondent.
Point at your product
Paste a Figma prototype link or a live URL. Tessary navigates the flow in a real browser, clicking buttons and filling forms the same way a real user would.
Read structured findings
Results arrive in under 10 minutes: screenshots, navigation steps, reasoning traces, and prioritized usability issues with suggested fixes. No synthesis required.
Old approach vs Tessary
The main change is cadence. When recruiting is off the critical path, a round of usability findings can happen at the same pace as the design iteration.
Panel recruiting
The traditional approach
- Write screening questionnaires and post to a panel
- Coordinate calendars and over-recruit for no-shows
- Wait 2 to 4 weeks for findings
- Enterprise verticals are sparse or absent from standard panels
- Participant variance confounds version-to-version comparisons
Tessary AI personas
No recruiting required
- Configure role, domain expertise, and context directly
- Run against any Figma prototype or live URL immediately
- Findings in under 10 minutes
- Same persona, repeatable across design versions
- Free tier: 3 sessions per month, no credit card required
What changes without a panel
Four dimensions that shift when you remove participant recruiting from the critical path.
| Tessary | Panel recruiting | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to results | Under 10 minutes | 2 to 4 weeks, coordinating from your own user base |
| Cost per session | Free tier: 3 sessions per month, no credit card required | Participant incentive plus platform fee |
| Persona consistency | Same configured persona, repeatable across design versions | Different participants each run, introducing behavioral variance |
| Niche user availability | Configure role, context, and domain expertise directly | Sparse in standard panels for enterprise and B2B verticals |
Questions about no-panel testing
Test before the review, not after.
The free plan gives you three sessions a month. Run one against the flow you have been postponing and see what the persona surfaces before your next design review.
